According to the Putney Historical Society, this historic house in the heart of the old village center, is a rare example of an 18th Century Vermont brick store with the Georgian style. The original hand-hewed ceiling beams are featured throughout the first floor along with original wide pine floorboards. While the house retains its antique charm, it is entirely updated with new interior walls providing modern R value insulation, replacement windows, all new plumbing, heating, wiring and ventilation, and a whole-house generator. The well is new and there is a modern connection to town waste. The current owners completed the renovations and include a rear deck and patio, and added a new wing to provide a mud room, along with a new sun room, flex space on the first floor currently configured as two studios, and a generous second floor master bedroom. Throughout the additions, pine floors are employed as in the original building. All new mechanicals, modern insulation for winter comfort and economy, classic views of a winding stream and lawn with forest beyond. A generous, sunny yard offers space for gardening, animals and play. The current owners invested several hundred thousand in upgrades. The house is 0.8 miles from the Putney General Store and a very short walk to Putney Central School, town forest, and community swimming pool. The Putney School is 5 minutes by car and The Grammar School is 3 minutes away. Showings begin 5/2/21

Village Residential District
The purpose of this District is to provide attractive village neighborhoods of relatively concentrated residential development. The District consists of existing residential development along Westminster Road north of the intersection with Signal Pine Road, and on the west of Old Route 5. These areas are not currently served by municipal water or sewer but are within areas of logical future extension. The existing development is residential in character and therefore new development should complement the building dimensions and orientation, pedestrian facilities, and vehicular accesses that are already in existence. Planned Residential Developments, Planned Unit Developments, and Planned Educational Developments are allowed with the approval of the Development Review Board.
